Evening,
I was in the process of building a Panga22 a Bateau design long boat and my son has taken over the building. So I'm on the look out for another boat to build for myself. What I'm chasing is plans something in the 20 to 22ft range able to be powered by a 4 stroke out board engine up to about 90 hp. Hopefully with a sef draining deck as well as the abilty to carry between100 to 150 lts of fuel as I often have to travel fairly long distances up the coast to reach my fishing destinations
The boat will used offshore so the abilty to handle rough water should the need arise would be an advantage as well as able to head up shallow water creeks and rivers would be good. I don't need a cabin type boat and would prefer a centre console as it will be used only for fishing. Preferably using the stich and glue method as It's the only method that I have any experince with and feel reasonably confident with.
I have always been keen on the Panga style (longboats over here in Australia) so anything along those lines would be great but having said that I'm also prepared to try and build something totaly different.
I realise what I'm asking for is a bit of a big ask but surely Dory style boats aren't the only boats that can be built using the stich and glue method.
So if anyone can point me in the right direction of a designer who sells plans who is thinking a bit outside of the square but can still be built by a back yarder using Stich and Glue I would greatly appreciate it.
Stay Safe
